The sound...is it like you have golf clubs in the trunk?

You may also hear it when you go over small bumps at a reasonably low speed (40-60km/h)?

If so...its the way the spring is mounted on the perch. If you didn't grease up the top of the springs or the spring perch, then it rubs and makes an odd sound.

Nothing to worry about if this is the sound!

Don't get screwed by the dealer! Don't tell them!

It's only when I brake that I ear the sound and I just ear click, that's all. Like tekgnosis said, it comes from the trunk, but its very loud.
The springs were installed at the dealer, because I get good price, my cousin is the parts manager there.
No I don't have any pics yet, cause my car was so dirty, and now, tuesday I hit a wall willl backing up so I have to buy knew altezza light and fix my bumper

Could be your rear shocks they might be leaking.

My thoughts exactly JDM. I would say that you're front struts could be leaking. They will knock and creek when that happens. Probably not a result of you lowering your car (I have the same springs), it's likely just more evident now because you have less give in them.
